Study Identifies Over 10,000 New Exoplanet Candidates, Potentially Tripling Known Count
A study uploaded to the preprint server arXiv on April 20 reports the identification of 11,554 exoplanet candidates from data captured by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). According to the researchers, 10,052 of these candidates had not been previously cataloged.
